From the game...? I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean like drawings they put in the game like in Mega Man 8's credits? I thought the point in this section was going to be that you'd submit official artwork for the games like for characters as you can find on the net, that's why I was so excited about it... now I'm not so sure...
I'm not sure either but I have a guess. If they are from the game as in drawings that appear in menus and unlockables such as concept art, it is acceptable in the tSR section. If the wallpapers or art are on the game disc (or in case of a downloadable game, right in the game folder) like in the case of Sonic Jam, they aren't used in the game but they are there to be used, then I suppose it is acceptable but never tried to do that to find out. If they are on the official website, then it is not acceptable since they are not directly off the game.
As for having a section dedicated to Video Game Art, it is a nice idea but not sure how it would fit on tVGR (apart from Models and obviously the blog, all the other sections have stuff directly from the game whether it is art or sound). Also it sounds like a grey area, not as much as music though (due to the fact some games used licensed music and the music industry is really picky about uploading music). Another site that does that is actually a good idea, after all there is one for Sonic games if it is still around and seeing anything worth perserving is a good thing considering that this is the Internet and things can disappear with a click of your fingers.
